restrict access to link

Posted by margaridacarvalho on March 10, 2009 at 10:19am

Hi!
I have several images that are linked to different pdf's. What i want to do is to restrict access to anonymous users. I want them to be able to see the images but i don't want them to be able to click the image and consequently see the pdf.
Does anyone can tell how to do this?

you can do that in admi/user/permissions

sorry

Thanks for your quick reply.
I'm sorry but i can't see how can i do this through user/permissions. I can restrict acess to pages but then anonymous users can't see the images, and i would like them to see them but couldn't click on them. I've tried path access module but i can't seem to put it to work right.
Could private file system and access control configuration be the answer to my problem?
Any other suggestion?

you can also do path access,

you can also do path access, so that the user ends up at an Access Denied page.

Or, alternatively, you can do it in php

<?php
if (in_array('anonymous',$GLOBALS['user']->roles)){?{>
...html tag for link.....
<?php } 
?>

Only local images are allowed.

<?php
if (in_array('anonymous',$GLOBALS['user']->roles)){?{>
...close link tag.....
<?php } 
?>

that way, the image is always produced, but the link tags are inside the php, and don't get printed for anonymous users

thank's for your reply. i

you need to enable first the PHP Filter under admin/build/modules

I've tried the php code but

Posted by margaridacarvalho on March 26, 2009 at 10:53am

I've tried the php code but i'm getting the error "Parse error: parse error in C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal6\includes\common.inc(1648) : eval()'d code on line 4". I know that is a syntax error. The problem is that i don't know that much about php, actually i know very few...

Here is the code that i have in my page:

<p><img src="sites/default/files/imagensprodutoscatalogo/sextavados/sextavados1.png" alt="" /></p>

<?php
if (in_array('anonymous',$GLOBALS['user']->roles)){?{>
<a href="sites/default/files/imagensprodutoscatalogo/produtospdf/din508.pdf"> 
<?php }
?>

<?php
if (in_array('anonymous',$GLOBALS['user']->roles)){?{>
</a>
<?php }
?>

Can someone tell me where is the error?

<p><img

Posted by hershel on March 26, 2009 at 12:18pm

<p><img src="sites/default/files/imagensprodutoscatalogo/sextavados/sextavados1.png" alt="" /></p>

<?php
if (in_array('anonymous',$GLOBALS['user']->roles)){ ?>
<a href="sites/default/files/imagensprodutoscatalogo/produtospdf/din508.pdf"> 
<?php }
?>

<?php
if (in_array('anonymous',$GLOBALS['user']->roles)){ ?>
</a>
<?php }
?>

or even cleaner:

<p><img src="sites/default/files/imagensprodutoscatalogo/sextavados/sextavados1.png" alt="" /></p>

<?php
if (in_array('anonymous',$GLOBALS['user']->roles)) { 
  echo '<a href="sites/default/files/imagensprodutoscatalogo/produtospdf/din508.pdf"> ';
}
?>

<?php
if (in_array('anonymous',$GLOBALS['user']->roles)) { 
  echo '</a>';
 }
?>

no link for any users

Posted by margaridacarvalho on March 26, 2009 at 12:31pm

thank you for the quick reply!
I've tried both code suggestions. I don't have the error anymore and the image appears but no link, whether i logged as autenticated or as anonymous user.
what may went wrong?

I just checked your syntax,

Posted by hershel on March 26, 2009 at 1:28pm

I just checked your syntax, not your logic. Try to look for

anonymous user

not just "anonymous"

Path Access

Check out Path Access http://drupal.org/project/path_access

How can I keep view displayed

Posted by ss54 on August 11, 2011 at 10:02pm

In normal cases, if you make the view restricted to authenticated users it will disappear from view unless you are logged in.
I would like to keep a view displayed to anonymous users even if its access is restricted to authenticated users. I want anonymous users to know that full node is not accessible unless they log in or register. Is this possible to do in Drupal 6. Many thanks for any one who can give me a hand.
